I have several airguns (in addition to powder weapons), as I live in an area where “discharge of firearms” is verboten, despite the fact that the area is zoned rural (Washington state, y’know). Needed for vermin control (mostly raccoons).
Unfortunately, airguns are insufficient for the bigger vermin...Bambi rats, which are out-breeding their food supply and not population controlled because people think they are “cute”.
Supposedly, coyotes have found their way over the bridge and onto the island, but they have not, as yet, made any noticeable dent in the deer population. I guess pet cats and dogs are tastier and easier prey.
Interestingly enough, bow hunting IS legal here, but Robin Hood I am not.
I give you the Pioneer Airbow.
Benjamin makes a high powered air rifle (about .38 Special class) and a high powered arrow gun (about twice as powerful as a common compound bow) shoots a 24 inch arrow with broadhead at 450 fps!
Can take all big game to 75 yards, easily.
